Summary
- Abhinav and Anurag Kashyap, brothers, no longer speaking

As of October 15th, 2025, the relationship between Bollywood directors Abhinav Kashyap and Anurag Kashyap has reached a new low. Abhinav, known for directing the hit film 'Dabangg', has revealed that the two brothers are no longer on speaking terms.
In a recent interview, Abhinav spoke candidly about the tumultuous nature of their relationship. He stated that while they grew up very close, sharing the same boarding school and college, their connection has been marked by "many ups and downs" over the years. Abhinav claimed that Anurag, being the older sibling, has even physically assaulted him in the past, though Abhinav says he could never retaliate.
The latest rift between the brothers appears to have been sparked by a recent altercation, after which Abhinav decided to cut off communication with Anurag. Abhinav hinted that their mother is now waiting for Anurag to make the first move and visit her, perhaps hoping to reconcile the two.
Despite the ongoing feud, Abhinav expressed his continued respect for Anurag, acknowledging him as his "guru" who has taught him everything he knows. In a lighthearted message, Abhinav invited Anurag to return home, where their mother has kept all his old belongings ready to welcome him back.
